Quote from: "kanujunkie"out of interest Gaspar, whats the damage/price?

st2 intercooled is 3490$ out of the EU and 3490eu in the EU. Reason of the difference is simple= tax. st1 non intercooled is 2490$ or EU as the other.

We offered for the celica owners local install for 1000eu plus travel and acomodation for 2 days. I just got home from a work trip where we took care of our st3 gts celica in Stuttgart, a st2 gt celica in Rotterdam and a st1 GTS celica in Wurtzburg. So we can do it there as well. BUt if you come over I am sure we could give you a great deal s;)

s;) (I dont have to drive again lol)
We started this kind a service after Bubba from London was ripped of with a 3000GBP celica gt st1 install. He is the one with the magazine coverege (makes us proud):

At last month's low (June) it was £100 less than that, so its worth watchin' those rates s:!: :!: s:!:
...but don't forget another 200 Euro for larger injectors (as opposed the the earlier 100 Euro deal that was being offered)

Bubba is a good friend of mine and has nothing but good words to say about Gas following all the help he gave him after JP motorsport screwed him over (supra tuners around milton keynes)

Hi Perry,
It is nice to meet you here, I have heard a lot about you from Bubba. I know this is not a personal meet but at least someone I know s;)

s;) ...
thx for the feedback also. I am sure a good costumer service does pay back in long terms. s:)

Has anyone got a good idea what the 0-60, 0-100 and 1/4 mile times are likely to be on a '2 running 210 whp?

Also, I know people have asked about insurance qoutes but do you tell them the max power the setup can run or just what parts are fitted i.e. you can run at 270 at the fly but normally run at 220 do you have to pay 270 hp money all the time?

Last question, how do you convince the wife a turbo makes good sense s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Anonymous · August 3, 2005, 19:39

0-60 should be around 5.5secs, with a 1/4mile time of 13.5 - 14secs (all rough guesstimates).

You only have to tell your insurance company what bhp levels you will be running at. If you decide to tell them a lower level to save yourself a bit of money, that's your choice, but be warned: There's no way they will ever be able to tell what boost you were running at. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Buy one and offer to take her for a spin?

There's a "rough guide" formula for 0-60 which shouldn't work but very often does! 0-60 time = weight (in kg) / (0.9x flywheel horsepower).

so, if the '2 is 1000kg & 138 HP (stock-ish with midget driver & no fuel!!), you get.... 1000/(0.9x138) = 1000/124.2 = 8.05 secs
do the same for 210HP and you get 5.3 secs. Good guesstimate Eko!
Try it for a few cars you know.....its pretty close.

Eko is generally right but there are exceptions: eg My insurer has agreed to cover any mods without it affecting my premium (& yep, I've got it in writing!). They're not asking for any info on BHP. Its a mainstream insurer too, so don't give up without having a friendly chat with yours.

Except for the 138bhp is flywheel and the 210 is wheel hp. So the calculation wants to take back the drivetrain loss.

I've always used weight/hp for 0-100kmh, which seems to be more correct than what manufacturers say s8)

s8) For example, your formula gives 8.3s for our 2, which is a bit too much, don't you think?

But basically it only works with decent power, when traction isn't the issue during the acceleration...
